Hagerty Insurance picked 10 current models they believe could grow in value over time. The company, which insures high-dollar classic cars, looked for timeless features when picking future classic cars. See what models made the list.

Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 427: This model might get overlooked for the new Corvette Stingray, but it has the potential to be a classic American muscle car. What Hagerty said: “Corvette values tend to favor the last model year of each generation making the 60th anniversary year a worthy example to keep in your garage.”

SRT Viper: The SRT Viper is the return of another classic American muscle car, and the power under its hood may make it a classic. What Hagerty said: “We applaud the Viper as one of the last living examples of the once-celebrated mantra of ‘there is no replacement for displacement.’”

Porsche Cayman S: Porsche has plenty of classic models, and this might be another to add to the list. The car has a sleek styling and plenty of power. What Hagerty said: “This version is more powerful, more efficient and lighter than previous versions of the Cayman. Say hello to the 911's little brother.”

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible: If Hagerty is correct, Chevrolet could have two classic models on the road right now. What Hagerty said: “Chevrolet's “most powerful production convertible ever” will likely be limited to hardcore enthusiasts and command a premium when they surface years down the road.”

Mini John Cooper Works GP: There are plenty of faithful Mini Cooper fans who will be searching for this car in the future. The car is being hailed as the fastest Mini ever built. What Hagerty said: “Mini enthusiasts will need to secure theirs quickly as merely 500 units will be sold in the United States.”

Subaru BRZ: Subaru helped spur the widespread use of all-wheel drive, and its BRZ coupe is standing out for its handling and performance. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to its rebranded twin, the Scion FR-S. What Hagerty said: “Often thought of as a 'quirky' carmaker specializing exclusively in all-wheel drive models, the rear-wheel drive BRZ injects some tire-smoking adrenaline into the Subaru brand.”

Volkswagen GTi: Volkswagen turned heads with its 1976 Golf GTi, and it’s turning heads again with its 2013 GTi. What Hagerty said: “The most successful compact sports car in the world has come a long way since the debut of the first Golf GTi in 1976…and the 2013 version may be the best yet.”

Audi RS5: This car might not make it to the classic car status, but Hagerty hopes it might get there. The reason is its subtle elegance. What Hagerty said: “It just oozes good taste in the way that big BMW coupes like the 3.0CS and 635 CSi used to.”

Tesla Model S: Tesla made a big splash after its Model S won Motor Trend’s Car of the Year award, and the elegant electric car could be a classic model too. What Hagerty said: “The Model S defies the stereotype that electric cars are just for people trying to kick the petroleum habit.”

Ford Focus ST: Ford has been introducing new and more nimble cars to the U.S. market. The Ford Focus ST has been hit on the road now, and it might be a classic later. What Hagerty said: “We believe this four-door hatch with over 250 horsepower and performance handling is an undeniable bargain under $25K that will attract collectors many years down the road.”
